Ben Affleck Is Going To Be Batman For A While | Badass Digest
Guess those aggressive whiners will keep churning those fruitless petitions for the next few years, unless the next film is a bust.
Good read, here are some highlights from the article.
"Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the process began earlier this year, after director Zack Snyder had finished working on Man of Steel with producer Christopher Nolan. Snyder and the studio already had ideas for a follow-up, and Snyder reached out to Affleck to check the star's interest.
It's unclear when exactly these talks began. Multiple sources say the studio approached other actors as well, including Josh Brolin. Ryan Gosling was also a possibility, but the actor dislikes the idea of sequels.
But Affleck was curious, and initial talks focusing on story and character began. Once Affleck was satisfied, WME's Patrick Whitesell and Ziffren Brittenham's Sam Fischer began negotiating his role in the Superman sequel. Sources say that Affleck has been signed for multiple movies, should sequels continue to proliferate."
"On one level, Affleck’s return to superheroes seems bewildering. The Oscar-winning co-writer of Good Will Hunting drew scorn after donning the red suit for Daredevil, and later agreed it wasn't his best work. After he'd recovered and turned in a bravura performance directing and starring in The Town, Fox offered him the chance to direct and star in a Daredevil reboot -- but Affleck turned it down."
"More recently, Nolan offered Affleck the chance to direct Man of Steel. Affleck declined, seemingly because of a desire not to return to the world of capes -- despite being an avowed comic book fan.
But it turns out Warner Bros. had other plans. And indeed, the film acts as a canny show of force by the studio, which, with one announcement, publicly threw its support behind one of its signature stars. Warners just showed Hollywood that it's still very much in the Ben Affleck business, a necessary move after his Argo took home the best picture Oscar, and after Kevin Tsujihara's ouster of Affleck champion Jeff Robinov left many of the studio’s go-to talents uneasy."

Ironically, Hathaway was one of those quirks that really worked in the Nolan films. She might not've been as great as Ledger or Oldman, but I liked her as Selina Kyle. I found Hathaway to much better casted than say... Bale, Hardy, Freeman, Cotillard and the terrible Cillian Murphy. Heck, as much as I enjoy Joseph Gordon-Levitt for the most part... he seemed miscasted.

Guess I'm still not learning anything... or you aren't because you sort of parroted my previous post but expanded it.
Please - raise your hand first.
This is hyperbole on top of the hyperbole...

The Tumbler was ugly as ****. I get why it fit into the Nolan world, but I hated it.
I did too, so you aren't alone.
